The Rage Against God: How Atheism Led Me to Faith

Here, for the first time, in his new book The Rage Against God, Peter Hitchens, brother of prominent atheist Christopher Hitchens, chronicles his personal journey through disbelief into a committed Christian faith. With unflinching openness and intellectual honesty, Hitchens describes the personal loss and philosophical curiosity that led him to burn his Bible at prep school and embrace atheism in its place. From there, he traces his experience as a journalist in Soviet Moscow and the critical observations that left him with more questions than answers.

Publisher's Summary

The purpose in publishing this edition of The Pilgrim's Progress is to carry forward this treasured legacy for a new generation. With this as the objective, the text of this edition has only been lightly edited to update archaic words and difficult sentence structure, while retaining the beauty and brilliance of the original story, and to let the story unfold with all the power, truth, and remarkable creativity of the original.

It is our hope and prayer, then, that this audio will fascinate and captivate the hearts and minds of this generation today, as was the case when The Pilgrim's Progress was first published more than three centuries ago.

Excellent, I will definitely listen again. It helps a Christian understand how he relates to God and how to make choices in his life.

"Great Read but Part 1 only"

What does Tim Lundeen bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I love the clean and crisp narration, not too hurried nor slow, modern English.

Any additional comments?

This would be my first time "reading" Pilgrim's Progress. I thought it was a great read for everyone, not only Christians. Although I found out that there is a part 2.This audiobook is abridged to part 1 only, this does not extend to Christiana (Christian's wife) and her children's pilgrim

"Excellent"

This book shows the journey of a Christian from accepting Christ to arrival in the promised land. It shows, through a story, most of the challenges that a Christian will face. Much better lessons then most of the "how to" Christian stuff out there today.

"Classic Presentation"

This is a classic, not just a Christian classic. This audio presentation was well narrated with the appropriate changes in voice an inflections. Superior quality also.

If you haven't read it there is a lot of good stuff in here to learn from. Kids would get a lot out of it too!

"Too many voice inflections."

All of the voice alterations for the different characters became a little annoying. got especially tired of the voice for Christian.

"Boring, and trite"

I guess this book is basically a sign of the times in which it was written, but I did not find it morally uplifting but simplistic and repetitious with its message. It may well have been the most loved and published book of its time, as stated in the lengthy forward. I can only guess that the people who so loved this book were uneducated and unable to think for themselves. There are also several very anti-Catholic references in this book as well. I could not finish it. The reader was pretty good, I just could not focus on this story and lost track of the thin story line several times.
